Mary Anne Shanahan has been appointed to replace Diane Musgrave at the BSA. She is a lawyer, but is not being appointed chair (that’s still Jo Morris): she has been appointed to the “community rep” position. (One of the four members is appointed after consultation with broadcasters, and one after consultation with “public interest groups in relation to broadcasting”, and that’s now Shanahan).

The terms of the other members are coming to a close soon, too. I hope the new members will be able to build on what’s been a pretty solid and consistent record from the current crew.
